  In the 4th century CE, Calcidius translated into Latin an important section of Plato's Timaeus, complemented by commentary and organized into coordinated parts. Its organization subsequently informed the sense of macrocosm and microcosm-of the world and our place in it-which is prevalent in western European thought in the Middle Ages.
